Do you allow animals to join us for our movies?
We welcome service animals into all our locations. We do not allow any other animals or pets inside our lobbies or auditoriums.
The ADA defines a service animal as a guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to a person with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA, regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by state of local government.
Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the person with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. Guide dogs are one type of service animal, used by some people who are blind. This is the type of service animal with which most people are familiar. Service animals also help people with other kinds of disabilities in their daily activities. Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. The tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual's disability. It does not matter if you have a note from a doctor stating that you have a disability and need the animal for emotional support. A doctor's letter does not turn an animal into a service animal. While comfort animals are often used as part of a medical treatment plan, they are not considered service animals under the ADA. They do not have special training to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities, and are not limited to working with people with disabilities.
The only animals allowed in our facilities are service animals. Here is a link to the State of Michigan FAQ about service animals.
